About Item
Velum Prime 400 SC is a systemic nematicide from Bayer containing Fluopyram 400 g/L (40% SC).
Delivery
Overview
Velum Prime 400 SC is a specialized nematicide formulated with Fluopyram 400 g/L in a Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation. It works at the root zone, targeting nematodes that attack plant roots below the soil surface.
Nematodes can damage roots without being easily visible above ground, reducing water and nutrient uptake and ultimately affecting crop growth and yield. Velum Prime is designed to address this hidden root-zone threat. Bayer India describes it as a solution for root-knot nematodes and highlights fast and long-term control.

About the Product
Velum Prime works directly against nematodes in the crop's root zone. Its active ingredient, fluopyram, interferes with the nematode's mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting Complex II. This causes a rapid depletion of cellular energy, making the nematodes immobile and unable to continue damaging roots.
Bayer reports that the first symptoms of treatment can occur approximately 30 minutes after application, with nematodes becoming brittle and immobile.
Key Features
Powerful Nematode Control
Provides targeted control of damaging root-knot nematodes, one of the major hidden threats to crop root systems.
Systemic Activity
Fluopyram provides systemic activity, allowing the product to protect the crop through its root-zone application.
Fast Action
Bayer states that nematode effects can begin approximately 30 minutes after application.
Root Protection
Helps protect roots from nematode feeding and associated damage, supporting better water and nutrient uptake.
SDHI Mode of Action
Fluopyram inhibits succinate dehydrogenase / mitochondrial Complex II, providing a distinct mode of action against nematodes.
Long-Term Crop Protection
Bayer highlights fast, effective and long-term control of key nematodes as a major product benefit.
Recommended Crop
Tomato
Bayer India currently lists tomato as the recommended crop and root-knot nematode as the target.
Important: Velum Prime 400 SC is registered for different crops and uses in different countries. For an Indian ecommerce listing, use the crop and dosage specified on the current Indian label rather than importing recommendations from another country's label.
Target Pest
Root-Knot Nematodes
Scientific group:Meloidogyne spp.
Root-knot nematodes infect plant roots and create characteristic root galls. Heavy infestations can interfere with water and nutrient uptake, resulting in stunted growth, yellowing, wilting, and reduced yield.
Velum Prime is designed to target these nematodes at the root zone.
Application Guidelines
Root-Zone Application
Velum Prime should be applied according to the approved crop-specific method on the Indian label, ensuring that the product reaches the active root zone.
Application Stage
Application timing should be based on:
- Crop establishment
- Root development
- Nematode pressure
- Crop-specific label recommendations
Dosage
Follow the current Indian Bayer label for the exact dosage.
I have not inserted an unverified dose because Velum Prime 400 SC has different registered rates and application methods across countries and crops. For example, Bayer's international labels specify different rates for different crops, demonstrating why a foreign dosage should not be copied into an Indian product listing.
Foliar Spray
Not the primary application method for nematode management. The product should be delivered to the crop root zone according to the registered label.
Fertigation
Use through drip/fertigation only if specifically permitted by the current Indian product label.
